t-bone billy just a singin' the blues
caught his lady with another man
lit up a smoke and did some talkin'
with the back of his hand
but he was kicking back and playing it cool
signed her walkin' papers
took the 5:15 to kalamazoo
four let me show you the door
you're better off dead than makin' a mess of me
eight let me give it to you straight
you're better off dead than makin a mess of me
now billy-boy's out havin' a ball playin' fiddle at the local bar
he's hollywood blvd. slick daddy and his fat cigar sayin': sign upon the dotted line!"
